    Yummy Recipe.

    Hi Folks,

    I made a lovely green lentil stew last night.

    The recipe is as follows:-

    1 large onion
    3 garlic cloves
    1 tin of chopped tomatoes
    2tsp soy sauce
    2tbsp lemon juice
    1-2tsp sage
    200g of Green Lentils
    400-500ml of Veg or chicken stock.

    Firstly you finely chop the onion and fry in a bit of oil until golden brown. Then you add the freshly rinsed green lentils, followed by the chopped tomatoes, the stock, the crushed garlic cloves, soy sauce, sage and lemon juice.

    Then you simmer for 40 minutes and then serve with a mixed salad, or some nice bread.

    Enjoy Yummy

    Hi folks,

    I discovered this website yesterday, it is amazing and this guy is an inspiration. He just wants people to be able to learn freely.

    Hi everybody,

    Well I managed to get most of my jobs done at the weekend, although my homework took longer than expected. Hopefully I will manage to get the rest of the jobs ticked off this evening.

    I managed to sort out my accounts at the weekend, I will update my signature later on, I really need to start getting the debts down. I have managed to shift to 0% cards again. It has been a couple of tight months as I had car insurance, MOT, House insurance among other things in the last two months. However, using this site I once again managed to shave quite a bit off my car insurance and house insurance, so that was good.

    Well yesterday was not without incident. I had a power cut from about 6am until 6pm. So could not really do much around the house. So went out for lunch and a look around the shops at Dalton park and then later on went out for a bit of tea. Managed to keep the spending down, which wasn't too bad.

    Hi folks,

    Well, I have about £8 to last me until Wednesday, but I will manage.

    I was having a look on the forum last night to try and find other ways of making a little extra cash.

    I might have to get back into the matched betting and cashback.

    I was also looking at these 'write a review' websites, which pay you money. Anybody got any good feed back on these websites.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi MF

    did reply but lost post as logged in at work and timed out... :mad:

    anyway, brief version before I lose this one too
    • surveys - I can PM you details of ones I do
    • cashback sites - RPoints, Cashbackings, have closed down, but check out EagerLeaner's thread for upto date stuff
    • not sure about review sites - but have seen people posting about pie in the sky
    • have you checked out shopping threads to help? The Tesco threads are helpful, the 1p thread, the Difference back and more.
    • updated printable coupon thread
    Let me know if you want anymore information, am rushing as at work and not supposed to be on here.
